Henry Jackson (1896) conducted an observational in Heart disease (n=100). Pathological lesions of the heart was evaluated on Pathological classification of heart disease. Among 100 autopsy cases with heart lesions, 34 had valvular disease, with the aortic and mitral valves being the most commonly affected (17 cases).
